has the ability to absorb blunt forces and forced entry to
the extent specied in ASTM F476, grade 40, sections 18,
19 and, 21 and AAMA 1304 (the “Standards”) and does
not cover against any other acts. The dened Standards
are those effective as of the date specied below.
Masonite grants these warranties only to the original purchaser of
the door and the original resident of the building where the door
was installed. THIS WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE
